Jimmy studied evolutionary biology with a passion at the University of Virginia. After graduating, he worked on projects at UVA related to community ecology and biodiversity until enrolling in the Curry School of Education. After earning his Master’s in Teaching, he worked in Albemarle County Public Schools as a science teacher from 2007-2014, along with coaching baseball at one school for 4 seasons.

“I learned about TKS from a contact in the public schools. The dual focus on both community and individual development was what initially attracted me. At TKS, staff learn a suite of approaches designed to help students recognize and shape their own growth, and the growth of their peers. It has been very rewarding to work with young men so closely and to see them make such profound progress during their time here.”

Jimmy enjoys relaxing with his wife and 2 dogs both locally and on the road. He has had the chance to backpack in both Central America and South Africa, and would take any chance to travel the world again. He loves to play sports, especially volleyball, baseball, basketball, golf, and disc golf. He is also a big nerd who grew up reading comic books and now greatly enjoys consuming comic book movies and television.
